Most chances is that the problem is with your WINXP disk. Try to tell me which bluescreen error you get (a Stop error, a Swap error, a Communications error etc...) It should tell on the bottom of the error

Hi, It is not a hardware issue. It is easy to install Windows 7 in your laptop but if you want to install Windows XP you have change the Hard Disk type to IDE. For that you have to change settings in your BIOS. After changing to IDE you can continue your installation normally as you done earlier...
your windows operating system is probably corrupt you cannot recover all of your files, unless you have an file recovery software. re format your disk c and put an operating system again.
its very simple.... enter the bios setting...The BIOS settings menu is accessible by pressing the f2
or f10 or the f6
key on some computers. if the BIOS provides an option to disable the native-SATA configuration in the BIOS, do the following steps to Disable the native-SATA in the BIOS
1. Use the cursor to navigate the Configuration
options to locate the Native-SATA setting.
2. If there is a SATA setting, select the Disable
option, and then press F10
to save the change and restart the computer.
if your system bios does not contain such option.... then find "Native SATA mode" or "SATA IDE" then change "AHCI" to "ATA" then press F10
to save the change and restart the computer.
Windows Xp installtion give Blue Screen of Death when XP tries to installed devices driver during installation or when the cd is corruptted and cannot be read in graphical mode installation or when the hard drive is corrupted with Bad sector.
Get a new windows XP CD and configure your system BIOS to default setting ( load optimal settings) and configured for IDE drive configuration to compatible mode or disable mode if you are using SATA hard drive.
If problem still occured, get "Bad sector recovery pro" and try to repair the hard disk.If the bad sector are unrecoverable then change the hard drive.
Sometimes, faulty RAM also give blue screen too. Check your RAM too.
I just experienced the same problem you did concerning the partmgr.sys blue screen error. I am installing Windows XP Pro SP2 on a pretty old Dell Latitude LS (upgrading it from Win 2000). The XP installation disk gives me the option to format in NTFS, FAT, and both formats in a "quick" mode. I usually do not recommend using the quick mode, however, after trying both NTFS and FAT and receiving the blue screen, I decided to try NTFS (quick). That has allowed me to actually get further into the installation, so you may want to try that.
for bios update go to manufacturers website but to install xp sp2 on this lappy you will have to install third party raid driver and legacy device driver that you can download from www.download .com
